Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / October 2003irrigating in the shower
Silly questiion but do you have the water (shower) running while you are irrigating? the position sounds helpful...I will try it...thanks Not silly at all. There is a discharge of foam and/or bloody mixture that comes down my forehead during the irrigation, and settles on the shower floor. I run the shower to clean it up, but my preference is after the irrigation. Best of luck! > Silly questiion but do you have the water (shower) running while you are > irrigating? the position sounds helpful...I will try it...thanks why are you having blood come out of your nose when irrigating? doesn't sound right. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com http://www.hydromedonline.com Might have something to do with being on Coumadin. I've also noticed occasional blood in the normal discharge since I've been on Beclomethasone. Most of the time I don't get a bloody discharge when irrigating. I've removed myself from Beclomethasone. I've been without sinus medicine for 17 days. Today my sinuses are a little achy, so I am going to do my first "upside-down" flooding of my sinuses with 3% peroxide/baking soda and salt, in 10 days. It will be interesting to see if there is any blood in the irrigation discharge now that I am no long on Beclomethasone, even though I am still on Coumadin. Have you encountered any patients who have bloody discharge due to their sinus medicine? At any rate, thanks for asking about the blood. You caused me to consider possible causes, and I appreciate that. Regards....... > why are you having blood come out of your nose when irrigating? doesn't sound > right. > Murray Grossan, M.D. > http://www.ent-consult.com > http://www.hydromedonline.com Just finished an irrigation. Used 5ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide, a pinch of baking soda, a tiny pinch of salt, and 50ml of filtered water. I did this because my sinuses were a little achy and slightly stuffed up today, although my sinuses don't feel too bad. I kept my head down for about 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to seep deep into my sinuses. There was mild burning, or stinging, in my sinuses that lasted for about a minute or two. It was not severe and didn't really bother me too much. I had to fight back the urge to sneeze several times. There was absolutely no blood, but there was lots and lots of foam. There was no noticeable junk in the discharge, just foam, this time. Right now my sinuses are not aching, or uncomfortable, but they feel a little stuffy from the irrigation. I also feel slightly like I am getting a cold, but this is normal after I irrigate my sinuses, upside down, flooding them. This is only a short time after I irrigated, so it is no surprise. Do you have an opinion on the merits of this type of irrigation? Are there any cautions or concerns that I should consider? > Might have something to do with being on Coumadin.

You can't ( shouldn't) use that if you are getting bleeiding while on coumadin. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com http://www.hydromedonline.com |
